The Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) allegedly splashed a staggering GHC10,000 on a single office chair in 2018.

A photo-grid of a GRA invoice and the purported chair which is making rounds on social media indicates that NACOB procured a ‘leap executive swivel chair leather’ for GHC10,267, 000.

As per the receipt, the chair was purchased from an Adabraka-based company known as The Office Furniture on October, 19, 2018.

Musician and activist Kwame A Plus who shared the photo on social media questioned why such amount would be spent on a chair.

A Plus wondered if the biblical king Nebuchadnezzar was going to sit on the chair.

“If Ghana be your company like you go buy one chair for 10.000 Ghana cedis? Why e be this chair some they sit top born Nebuchadnezzar?” he queried.

Efforts by www.ghanaweb.com to get a reaction from NACOB proved futile as calls and messages sent to the state agency received no response.
